Assorted Truffles

Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Assorted Truffles scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

• Corn-Based Sweeteners (Corn Syrup): HFCS is a hallmark of ultra-processed foods.
• Processed Fruit Products (Unsweetened Chocolate): Concentrates and extracts indicate significant processing.
• Sugar Alcohols (Sorbitol): Modified sweeteners common in diet UPF products.

Within Chocolate, this product is more processed than about 67% of the 9,618 products we've analyzed.
